Press Release: Goldflake comments on WSE notecards

Written by Xavier Mohr

Friday, 14 December 2007

The World Stock Exchange (WSE) has been distributing a notecard to the users registered at their website. While we commend the intention to inform and educate the users, we strongly disagree with section 3 (Banks and Exchanges) in the aforementioned notecard.

First off, the WSE claim to hold a 95% market quota is a joke at the best and we refer you to this post written by an independent and unbiased observer .

Going on with the notecard, the WSE seems to be the only SL exchange featuring "transparency, functionality, credibility, liquidity and stability". We aren't gonna comment on this, since it only takes a few Google searches or the usage of our and their system to easily "do the math" and see where the truth is.

The other bits of that section are just propaganda, slandering and empty claims. We believe that's the wrong way to go. The different exchanges are yes competitors, but they shouldn't put down the other market players with no good and valid reason. Last but not least, they should not refrain to cheap marketing tactics and made up numbers to look better, since that just undermines investors confidence.

The WSE is no longer the "king of the hill". Another exchange has the leadership now and while we're small, we could teach some lessons to our Australian counterpart and not viceversa. The VSTEX is here to stay and there's nothing more to add. Facts will talk on our behalf.

Just to be precise, in my press release I stated
that "another exchange has the leadership now". I
wasn't referring to us, otherwise I would have worded the
sentence differently.

Acco rding to our data, that exchange
(which I can mention, no problems at all)
is the SLCAPEX.

We're far, far away from either the WSE
or the SLCAPEX, but there's a lot of room for improvements
on our side.

Im not that sure Vstex got the lead, but if its true I'm very happy to hear it.
It's time for WSE to disappear and let to others the difficult task to give back
to traders the trust in SL investments. I founded The Masdaqs a long time ago
but the Market situation suggest us to wait for a better moment. Time is coming.

There are still opportunities in a fast growing economy like Second Life's,
and loads of good and trustable businessmen/women.
Good luck to everyone.

Xavier, no problem. Thanks for changing the title, but it wasn't a big deal
anyways.

Arnaud, I can assure you that I have plenty of time to take care of
the VSTEX and issues like this one. I tend to fight fire with fire, and the WSE
notecard was quite an event. I don't recall another similar event since I
started my "career" as a WSE trader, SL eons ago.

A statement from
the VSTEX was in order.

Samantha. I admire your opinions and your take on things, however I think it is
time to put WSE aside. Since you seem to be the only Exchange head hammering on
WSE (I wish they all would), I can only think that it takes away from your time
to do more for your own exchange. Maybe if we ignore Luke for a while he will
eventually disappear into the hole where he belongs. Why give him free
publicity!! Take a break enjoy SL and build your exchange. Let Luke rot on his
own vine.

In my opinion if we ignore the likes of Inlibber and Luke,
everybody would be better off. The more we pay attention to them, the more
legitamate they become in their own minds.

Just a thought.

Hey Sam, The press release that I was forwarded by the webmaster didn't have a
title so I had to make one up. Sorry if it sounded a little harsh... no bias or
offense was intended. I don't think its all that unfitting but in any event I
will change it to something else. :)

I edited that link in for you, Samantha.

I would like to say, the term "unsolicited" ; used here at SLReports is
not mine. While the notecards were not asked for by the WSE users, I believe
it's a good thing to communicate with the users and that should be stardard
practice for every exchange.

Ow, I just noticed that the link to the
"post written by an independent observer" did not make it through, when
I submitted the press release.

The post I was referring to is from Aldon
Hynes on Orient Lodge:

Sorry for
the inconvenience.

Samantha, I commend you for actually reading that notecard. I think I made it
through the first paragraph or so before seeing how long it was, and deciding
that it was just way too long to read.
